Income taxes
Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was 10.7%. In February 2008, the Company's U.S. operating entities entered into an Advanced Pricing Agreement ("APA") with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") covering the calendar years 2006 through 2010.

The APA provides the Company with greater certainty with respect to the mix of its pre-tax income in the various tax jurisdictions in which it operates.
